ONE OF the most hopeful features of
the business situation Is the reasonable
certainty which now prevails that the
wheat crop of the country this year will
be above the average Of the five years
Immediately preceding this. There is a
prospect also that the crop In Europe
Will be below the average, while tina,
recently harvested in India is understood
10 be much below last years yield. This
insures fair prices and an active demand
Tor the American product, and a profita

Prohibition in Missouri.

A special from st. Joseph, Mo-, says
The closing Of the saloons in Atchison
has cut Off the most profitable source Of
revenue, amounting to thousands of dol.
lars per year, and as n result the city has
not enough revenue to keep going. Yes
terday the police force, with the excep-
ton OF the marshall and one officer, were
suspended from duty. The mayor has
also notified the firemen that their servi
ces will be dispensed with, gas and elect
rio lights will be shut off to-day.

NAVAL officers, who served with honor
In the war Of the rebellion. and who cap,
tufed flags. are looking around for them
without finding any. The law requires
that such flags shall be displayed Tin such
public place as the Secretary Of the
Navy may prescribe. 1t seems rather
singular that Secretary Whitney should
not know whether any such flags are in
custody Of his Department, or whether
they are displayed according to law.

That the Democracy apprehend trou.

THE way In which some Of the Demo.
cratic papers seek to charge the rebel flag
incident to somebody else besides the
President Is Of the same character as the
mugwump complaint against Attorney
General Garland for remaining in the
Cabinet. The party responsible in each
instance is Grover Cleveland. 1t was he
who gave the order for the return of the
flags. and 1t Is he who keeps Mr.. Garland
In his Cabinet. Complaints ought to be

The promt conviction Of Jacob Sharp
for the crime Of bribery in securing the
Broadway Railway franchise in New

has followed the course of the trial and
carefully read the testimony produced by
the prosecution. The defense was un.

for the defense were men standing in the

ence Is irresistible that 1t was weak be.

IT Is now accepted as a settled fact that
the President has decided that there will
be no necessity for an extra session Of
Congress In the coming autumn. Since
the talk Of an extra session began he has
expressed himself as being opposed to
calling Congress together before the reg.
ular meeting day in December, and he
has stated on several occasions that he
hoped nothing would occur to change
his opinions. Recently he has become
more emphatic on the subject, and has
told prominent Democratic LEADERS, that
he sees no reason for the extra session

Mr. Barrett can not get behind the

The Gazette evades the point. Its
favorite committee, among other things
asserted that the sums paid the Com
missioners for railroad fare were unau
thorized and contrary to law. Mr.. N. K
KeunoD, Prosecuting Attorney, was Z
member of that committee. We copied
his endorsement from bill of Commits
sioner Berry, certifying that the allow
ances claimed were in accordance with
law. 1t was upon such certificates tba
the Commissioners bills were paid.
If the Commissioners were not enti
tied to include railroad fare in theiI
claims for expenses, Mr.. Kennon, Pros
ecuting Attorney, should not have Ger
titled to their bills; and then there
would have been no occasion for Mr.
KennoD, committeeman, finding faul
with what Mr.. Kennon. Prosecuting At
torney, had certified to.
